hi,i am srikanth.
well i installed microsoft windows xp professional on my computer.the os is was not able to recognize the presence of the speakers(i am using speakers manufactured by
mercury inc. ).
i don't know the exact sound card on my p.c.
here is what i did.i downloaded realtek 97 audio driver and i installed the program on my system.even then my operating system is not able to detect my audio hardware.
what could be the problem?.please give me a suggestion.

Try this:
Open your PC, take our your sound card out and look for the card identifiers (like model number, manufacturer, etc.) go to google, type it in, and search for drivers, you should find it.
If the sound is built on board, make sure you install inf files (chipset utility) so the os can recognize what's on board, go to the board manufacturer's website and get the drivers for your board.

I hope it helps,

Waldis
